The California Building Code requires soil testing and inspection services, which will provide you with peace of mind that your soil is being handled properly. Whether you’re grading for a building pad, grading for new foundations, constructing a new pool, constructing a new wall, or simply backfilling a retaining wall, soil testing and inspection will ensure the ground that’s being built on is competent and that it will not adversely affect your structure in the future. Our registered and certified engineering technician are highly trained to provide the testing and inspection services needed to ensure the construction is in accordance with the project plans and soils report.
A soil inspection can benefit your entire building project in many ways, including:
- Obtaining a Permit: A soil test is often required before a construction permit can be obtained. Our soil inspection and testing services in Southern California can help you get one step closer to your finished product.
- Water Table Level: Depending on where you live, a soil inspection can show whether or not you can add a basement to your building. If a test shows the water table is too high, building below ground may not be possible.
- Soil Erosion: This typically applies to people living on hillsides. A soil test can help you make sure the soil won’t erode away around your home, leaving you with an unstable foundation. This may also predict landslides and gullies caused by heavy rainfall in your area.
